TheSixthAxis Easter Egg Hunt – Find Eggs, Win PSN Games- TheSixthAxis have teamed up with Creat Studios and Tik Games to give away copies of Mahjong Tiles and Cuboid PlayStation Network games.  It’s certainly worth a try, although  I haven’t quite managed to find all 10 eggs!  Update: Now closed

Over the course of April, I will release a series of articles on PlayStation Home to mark its continuing improvements, reflecting on what has been achieved so far, and what the future holds in store for both PlayStation Home and the community.

Publishing schedule:

It’s good to be back Home [...]

Average Home session is 55 minutes long- For what it is, I can’t fathom why people love Home so much.  I understand why it’s meant to be so good, but I can get my fix of social interaction either within games themselves, or Facebook etc without suffering from: constant disconnections, hefty file sizes for areas [...]

Sony Now Charging Publishers For PS3 Downloadable Content, An Unpopular Policy Shift- I find this incredible.  Publishers need incentives to publish their content on the PlayStation Network, not reasons to abandon the platform.  I’m now thinking that when it came to the PS3, Sony got out of the wrong side of bed or something.  Because [...]

Bejeweled 2 Coming to PSN- What an amazing game.  So addictive.  I have played bejeweled many times on the web, and on Windows Live Messenger.  At the moment, I have it on my iPod and I’ve never been happier.  I might go and give it another spin now.  There’s also other PopCap games coming to [...]

New “Department” at the PlayStation Store: The Capcom Storefront- I’m loving what the team is doing for the PlayStation Store.  I admit that I’ve forgotten whether this is applying to all versions of the Store, or just the US version.  My brain’s scrambled these days!  I’m particularly impressed with all the dev replies in the [...]

LittleBigPlanet is here, and gamers everywhere are giddy with excitement- and that’s just the adults!  Children are going to love this game, as in fact, will anyone really.  From what I’ve experienced, I can totally see how this can be a cult classic for the cool, hardcore gamers, but still be fun for all the [...]

There have been a couple of articles that have piqued my interest recently; one from Rockers Delight (excellent blog, go read now if you haven’t already done so) and another from PS3 Fanboy.  Rather than address each point separately, I’d like to make this one big article on my thoughts about brands in the games [...]

Global approval process in the works for PSN- Sounds like great stuff, making it even easier for developers to get their content on the PlayStation Network (PSN).  The PSN is one of the great, open online networks out there: no fees, no overly restrictive requirements on developers and no need for publishers.
